A Bit Like You And Me Radio

This group, formed in Massachusetts in 1952, consisted of four brothers and one childhood friend. Growing up, the Scott brothers created their own gang, “The Band of Angels,” to guard what police referred to as “Scotty’s Alley”. The group had two moderate successes in the charts: 1956’s “Ka-Ding-Dong” and the song heard below.

This song is an amalgam of the group’s lyrics with the tune of the New Year’s traditional song, “Auld Lang Syne,” which is also sung in the background. “Auld Lang Syne” itself is the combination of a Scottish poem written in 1788 by Robert Burns and a traditional folk song. The phrase “auld lang syne” translates to “long long ago” and “for auld lang syne” therefore indicates “for old time’s sake”.

I understand just how you feel
(Should old acquaintance be forgot)
Your love for me; why not be mine?
(And never brought to mind?)
It's over now but it was grand
(Should old acquaintance be forgot)
I understand; I understand
(And days of auld lang syne?)

I miss you so
Please believe me when I tell you
I just can't stand to see you go
You know

If you ever change your mind
(Should old acquaintance be forgot)
Come back to me and you will find
(And never brought to mind?)
Me waiting there at your command
(Should old acquaintance be forgot)
I understand; I understand
(And days of auld lang syne)

I understand just how you feel. Let bygones be bygones. But always remember: I love you, I love you, I love you.

Wanting to attract a young market, the Canadian Coca-Cola company made the choice to release a record featuring two moderately successful bands. One of the bands was The Guess Who?, which would have great success in the coming years. The other group was this one, which went on to have the hit “Signs” (1971) after changing their name to the Five Man Electrical Band in 1969.

This song comes from the Coca-Cola record mentioned above, titled A Wild Pair. In comparison to the group’s later work, this song (and the other songs by them) is much more relaxed.

The Staccatos - Where Did Holly Go? (1968)

Lyrics:

Spirit alive
Secrets of life
Understood she was straight
She was solid good
She took her light away
They called her ‘Holly’

(Where did Holly go?)
Did she (have to fly away?)
If I knew where she was goin’
I’d be goin’ that way (too)

Holly had a way of smiling
That could turn the sunshine on you
(Holly had a way of smiling)
And she could make the morning glories
Come out any time she wanted
Nothing stayed outside her beauty

(Where did Holly go?)
Did she (have to fly away?)
If I knew where she was goin’
I’d be goin’ that way (too)

Holly lived in ways forgiving
Ways in which I could not follow
(Holly lived in ways forgiving)
Spoke about the land she knew of
But a place she could not take me
I could never walk the circle

(Where did Holly go?)
Did she (have to fly away?)
If I knew where she was goin’
I’d be goin’ that way (too)

Tonight the wind might carry me
To the place where I will find her
If I spend my lifetime chasing myself
(Chasing myself…)
Holly spoke of San Francisco
Said it was a nice place to die

Formed in Tyler, Texas in 1965 by Ronnie “Mouse” Weiss, the group altered their name after the release of their first single, heard below, to their more widely-remembered name, Mouse & The Traps. Although they never released a full-length album, they had moderate success in the southern US with a handful of singles.

Having enormous respect for Bob Dylan, the group’s first released single was molded after Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”. The melody and singing style was so close to Dylan’s hit, listeners couldn’t figure out if it was a parody of or homage to him. What is sure is that the song was their largest hit, reaching #121 on the Billboard charts.

Mouse - A Public Execution (1966)

Loading the ABLYAM player...(Might not work on mobile devices)

Lyrics:

Some words are best not spoken
Some things are best not said
But since this is your public execution
I think I'm gonna go right on ahead

The mailman brought your letter, babe
Where you told me how you feel
And about the things he said and told you
That is, I'm such a heel
But I could never be honest; that to you I'd always lied
When he saw me take some other hide for a two-wheel pony ride

You at least might have asked me
If the scene was really what it seemed
But like a queen ruled by her jester
Your conclusions was “a scheme”

You said I disappointed you wherever all the things I've done
And that you had convinced yourself I was the only one
To really make you happy- satisfy your soul
Now you say I've failed you since we've spent up all my gold

Have you ever seen the truth, therefore
Have you ever made a try
Such a thing for you, so impossible
With them beams all in your eyes

Whoa, I read where you said you want one good chance to really put me down
And how you'd love to smear my name all over my home town
Said some Mouse made a fool of you and said, “Don't waste a dime”
Your phone is out of order now, babe, for me you've got no time

If this is really what you're thinkin'
That it's really, really all my fault
You’d better find yourself a welder, baby
'Cause you got locked up in your vault

Yeah, you got your point put over now
It seems you’ve found a match
Burn the bridge behind you, babe
Slam your door; throw the latch
I know just how you're hurtin'
From your feelings as they burn
I'd like to say I'm sorry
But it's no longer my concern

So goodbye
Go on and have a real good cry
I've found me a brand-new high
She just loves a two-wheel pony ride
You better get yourself a welder, babe
Go on, get on out of here

Formed in 1964 and featuring Lou Reed and John Cale, this group is often cited as one of the most influential group’s of the 1960s. They were managed by Andy Warhol and frequently played at Warhol’s studio, the Factory. Although they never achieved much commercial success while together, it was said that “the first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band.”

This song comes from the group’s self-titled 1969 album. It was written by Lou Reed and is one of the rare times a song was sung by the group’s drummer, Maureen “Moe” Tucker. Reed said that he could not sing it himself because the lyrics were far too “innocent and pure.”

After leaving The Manish Boys in 1965, Davy Jones started to record with this group, The Lower Third. They released two singles together before splitting up, at which point Jones decided to change his stage name. In an effort to avoid confusion with the Davy Jones of The Monkees, he renamed himself after a frontiersman he admired, Jim Bowie, and took his new stage name: David Bowie.

Previously recording R&B sounding songs, this release marked the first time Bowie ventured into a more mod-sounding style. In 2000, Bowie recorded a new version of the song, twice as long, which eventually appeared on the single “Slow Burn”.

This is the only band I’ve seen from the ‘60s (or any other decade) to be from Turkey. Composed of mostly nineteen year old students and one sixteen year old lead guitarist, the group’s name translates to “The Optics” in English.

They were headlined “future stars are born” by the Milliyet newspaper after appearing, and winning, a contest which was broadcast to more than twenty-thousand people. Played in their final set list at that contest, this song’s title translates to “Peasant’s Daughter” in English. The song starts off sounding baroque and then takes an awesome surf-sounding twist.

On December 25th, 1969, Jimi Hendrix and his band, bassist Billy Cox and drummer Buddy Miles, recorded this track. It was originally released in 1974, four years after Hendrix’s death. Given the day it was recorded and that it ends with Auld Lang Syne, the song traditionally associated with New Year's Day, it seemed fitting for today.

This song was released too late in the year of 1971 to make any dent in the American charts, but when it was released in the UK the following year, it climbed to the fourth spot. The lyrics were based on an advertising campaign paid for by John and Yoko, where the couple paid for billboards around the world to remind everyone that “WAR IS OVER! (If You Want It) Happy Christmas from John and Yoko”. The backup choir heard in the song is the Harlem Community Choir.

Unable to respond to the countless fan mail that they received each year, The Beatles decided that they would send out a special album every Christmas to the members of their fan club. Released annually from 1963 to 1969, the albums contained impromptu sketches, songs, humor, and messages of thanks from John, Paul, George, and Ringo. In 1970, a compilation LP was sent out combining all previous recordings.

December 22, 2011

This song comes from the group’s 1964 album, The Beach Boys' Christmas Album. The group used five original Christmas-themed songs for the album as well as recording seven traditional Christmas tracks. The biggest song from the album, “Little Saint Nick,” had originally been released in 1963, featured sleigh bells, and continues to get regular airplay each year.

This song was written by Brian Wilson and featured lead vocals by Mike Love.

Led by former country and western singer, Bill Haley, this band is credited as being the earliest group of white musicians to bring rock and roll music to a white audience. Although they had success in the charts with earlier rock and roll releases, it was their hit “Rock Around the Clock” that was noted for thrusting rock and roll into the mainstream culture of the 1950s.

This song, written by Joseph Beal and James Boothe, was first and most popularly recorded by Bobby Helms in 1957. The version heard below was intended to be released in 1968, but became lost for nearly thirty years before finally being released in the mid-1990s. Although I’m partial to the original, it’s interesting to hear an alternate version that was thought to have been lost.

What a bright time; it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin’ in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up, jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell rock

What a bright time; well it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin’ in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up, jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell-
That's the jingle bell-
That's the jingle bell rock

At the age of fifteen, he dropped out of school and worked with Little Richard’s backing band, The Upsetters, in an effort to earn money for his family. By the age of seventeen he had joined The Pinetoppers, and toured the southern United States. By twenty-three, he had his big break and was signed as a solo artist, gaining popularity with both black and white audiences. Unfortunately, in 1967, at the age of twenty-six, he died in a plane crash, crippling the failing record company he was signed to.

Responsible for influencing countless artists of the 1960s and beyond, this trio was largely responsible for the folk revival movement in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Although they were frequently shunned by folk music purists for being politically neutral, they still, even to this day, ranked on lists such as “most weeks with a number one album,” “most consecutive number one albums,” “most top ten albums,” and other acclamations.

This song comes from sixteenth-century England. This particular version was released by the trio in 1960 on their album The Last Month of the Year. It failed to reach the commercial success anticipated and was quickly removed from the shelves. In 1992, it was re-released on CD, but was again taken off of the shelves before too long. The album was said to be one of the most sophisticated albums for the group, but also one of the least well known.

This song was written in honor of his friend, Mac MacLeod, who was in a Danish hard rock band called Hurdy Gurdy. He thought the song was a lot more psychedelic and harder than the material he was used to putting out and wanted to give it to Jimi Hendrix when his manager, Mickie Most, insisted he release it himself. John Paul Jones, soon of Led Zeppelin fame, played bass on the song.

This song, the best selling single from the album was a top-ten hit in Los Angeles and San Diego. It failed to reach the top fifty on the national charts, but was later covered by the ‘80s group The Bangles in 1984.

He was the most popular bandleader there was in the late 1930s and early ’40s, the era of swing. He led his orchestra to achieving great amounts of success with songs like “Moonlight Serenade,” “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” “At Last,” “(I’ve Got a Gal In) Kalamazoo,” “Tuxedo Junction,” and his largest hit heard below. On December 15th, 1944, he was on his way to entertain American troops in France, during World War II, when his plane disappeared in the bad weather over the English Channel. He was pronounced missing in action and presumably died that day.

This song is the epitome of big band and swing music. Despite being released in 1939, it wasn’t until 1940 that it held the number one spot for thirteen weeks. You may also recognize the opening of this song from being sampled by The Beatles in 1967. At three minutes and three seconds in, on their song "All You Need Is Love," you can hear the start of this song.

As of yet, this artist is the only man to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times: as a member of The Yardbirds, as a member of Cream, and as a solo artist. He also found success in Derek and the Dominos, Delaney and Bonnie, Blind Faith, and The Bluesbreakers. He is unquestionably one of the most influential and greatest guitarists of all time. He is one of the many artists to be featured on this site that cannot be accurately summed up in such a small space.

This song comes from his second solo album, 461 Ocean Boulevard, released in 1974. The highlight of the album was his cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff,” which went to number one, but this song has also been noted as one of the album’s best tracks. It’s suggested that you turn your speakers up a bit as he sings at a low whisper for the entire track.

Using various band names, most notably Chad Allan & The Expressions, this Canadian group didn’t find as much success as they would have liked in their first five years of existence. In an effort to create mystery around their next release, the group’s record company took their 1965 single, a cover of the song “Shakin’ All Over,” and released it under the mysterious “Guess Who?”. The single resulted in a hit, but when the band was revealed responsible, radio DJs still continued introducing them as “The Guess Who?” and the band had to adopt the name (eventually dropping the "?").

Though they’re primarily remembered for their later works, such as “American Woman,” “These Eyes,” “No Time,” and others, this song comes from the group’s early and lesser known stage of success. In 1966 they released an album titled It’s Time. This song, released as one of three singles from the album, reached number thirty-two in the Canadian charts.

Don't try to get her
Because she's mine
If you don't believe me
Just ask around and you'll find
That her clothes are all in line
Her family's well-refined
She's faithful all the time
And she's mine
She's mine
Yeah, she's all mine

Don't try to call her
Because she's mine
If you don't believe me
Just ask around and you'll find
That the stars above her shine
Her words are all in rhyme
She's happy all the time
And she's mine
She's mine
Yeah, she's all mine

There comes a time in everyone's life
When you choose somebody to love
She chose me and I chose her
And that's all we're thinking of
All we're thinking of

She's not for you
Because she's mine
If you don't believe me
Just ask around and you'll find
That her clothes are all in line
Her family's well-refined
She's faithful all the time
And she's mine
She's mine
Yeah, she's all mine

There comes a time in everyone's life
When you choose somebody to love
She chose me and I chose her
And that's all we're thinking of
All we're thinking of

She's not for you
Because she's mine
If you don't believe me
Just ask around and you'll find
That her clothes are all in line
Her family's well-refined
She's faithful all the time
And she's mine
She's mine
Yeah, she's all mine

Formed in 1970, this group found one-hit wonder success in a song written by Rupert Holmes that they released in 1971 (heard below). They went on to have minimal success in 1972 with “Give Up Your Guns” before disbanding. Holmes went on to write and record the largely successful “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)” in 1979.

Originally written to be recorded by The Glass Prism, this song was intentionally written to get banned. If you’ve never heard it before, I won’t ruin the reason it was censored, but you can be assured that its content is rather mild by today’s standards. Unfortunately for The Glass Prism, they were under contract to RCA and Holmes had to go with his second choice, this group, to record the song. It reached number seventeen on the Billboard Hot 100.

December 12, 2011

Formed in 1950 by Al Alberts, this vocal group reached the top ten on ten different occasions. When they couldn’t find a record company to release their first single, “(It’s No) Sin” in 1951, Alberts started his own record company, Victoria Records, to release the song. It sold one million copies and the group was quickly signed by Decca Records.

This song was a hit for the group in November 1954. It was written by Pat Ballard earlier that year and often had the lyrics substituted between “he” and “she” depending on what group was performing the song. This group’s rendition of the song was featured in Back to the Future.

Please Mr. Sandman, won't you bless me with a dream?
Make her complexion just like peaches mixed with cream
Give her two lips that look like roses and clover
Then tell me that my lonesome nights are over

December 11, 2011

After having dropped out of Ohio University, this artist was in a string of bands with his friend and guitarist Joe Dolce across New England in the late ‘60s. He played in Headstone Circus, St. James Doorknob, and the Finite Minds before finally signing a record deal with Metromedia Records under the name Sugar Creek.

After mild success and opening for The Allman Brothers Band and B.B. King, he left his band and signed with Capricorn Records to release a self-titled solo album. When the engineer accidentally erased a song titled “Please Find Me,” he was fired and this song was used to fill up the new empty slot. It reached number four on the Hot 100.

December 10, 2011

Coming out of Brooklyn, New York, this group was made up of sixteen and seventeen year olds who recorded at Attack Records in 1966. They released their first single, the song below, without having a band name or being under contract. Without the group’s consent, the record company chose a band name for them, sold 500,000 copies of the single, and never gave the group their recognition. Unaware, the group released one more single before catching on, signing with Cameo Parkway Records, changing their name to Ohio Express, and releasing a remixed version of their first single.

This song is the original version released in 1966. The August 1967 re-release, under the name Ohio Express, reached number one in Columbus, Ohio and became a national hit by September 1967.

You threw me out the night before last
And now you want me back in your arms again
You think I'm a fool; you treat me like dirt
You pull the string and hope I will be your friend
But I know what's on your mind
So I'd rather stay out in the street without a dime

And I'd rather beg, borrow, and steal
I'd rather beg, borrow, and steal
I'd rather beg, borrow, and steal
Than go back to you (go back to you)
Than go back to you (go back to you)
Than go back to you (go back to you)
Than go back to you (go back to you)
Yeah!

How long did ya think I'd hang around
Pretending not to see the tricks you pulled on me?
There's only so much a man can take
Before his life turns into a tragedy
So I'm gettin' out now while I can
‘Cause I don't want to crawl
I want to walk out like a man

And I'd rather beg, borrow, and steal
I'd rather beg, borrow, and steal
I'd rather beg, borrow, and steal
Than go back to you (go back to you)
Than go back to you (go back to you)
Than go back to you (go back to you)
Than go back to you (go back to you)

Composed of sixteen and seventeen year old high school students, this small-town local group came from somewhere near Springfield, Illinois. They appeared on local television three times as well as local radio programs numerous times. In a spur of the moment decision, they entered a battle of the bands at a town fair and placed second. Unbeknown to them, the winners of the contest were awarded with opening for Paul Revere & The Raiders in front of twelve thousand people.

This song, which sold five hundred copies, featured Donnie Bearup (Oglethorp), Greg Carlock (Othelow), and Richard Dean. Mick Presnell, who wasn’t an official member of the group, can be heard playing percussion in this song, which was two Coke bottles being hit together.

Lyrics:

I’m giving you all my loving
And I’ve done what I can
Please say you’ll be my woman
And I’ll be your man, if I can
I’ll be true to you someday
Please don’t go away

You said that you loved me
And that it was right
But darlin’ I can’t ever fit in
If I can’t sleep at night
‘Cause I love you
And I want you
For my girl, pretty one
Please don’t go away

‘Cause I love you
And I want you
For my girl, pretty one
Please don’t go away

When Dave Burgess (known professionally as Dave Dupree) needed a B-side for his single “Train to Nowhere,” the executives at Gene Autry’s Challenge Records made him put together a band for the purpose of filling the empty side. This band was the result.

The band recorded this song, written and sung by their saxophonist Danny Flores. It quickly reached the number one spot in three weeks and vastly outshone its A-side counterpart. But because it was the group’s only success, it labeled them as a one-hit wonder.

This song was from the first single they released after their album failed to chart. The people at Colgems were investing most of their time promoting The Monkees and little was done to advance this group's career. Unfortunately, their album and this single failed to chart and the group dissolved before releasing anything else. Luckily, we have this single, with the B-side “Gypsy Song Man,” that made it out of the studio.

The Lewis and Clarke Expedition - Daddy's Plastic Child (1967)

Lyrics:

Her hair sparkles red and blue
Her feet, they touch the sun
All of life is on a blade of grass for her
But she has done what must be done

Sally’s from the wrong side of the tracks, you know
It’s not the going over
But the coming back that’s oh so wrong
She’s daddy’s best child
And she must learn to bend to things like this
Because her parents tell her
What is right for her is not the same
As what is right for them

Daddy’s plastic child is bending
Doing what you tell it to do
Daddy’s plastic child pretending
Reaching out to feel the sun
Never telling anyone
Crying out to melt away
What fun

Linda’s from the right side of the tracks, you know
She’s not in love
But she’ll be married
Sunday afternoon at three
And everyone will be there
Giving her congratulations
Never asking if it’s what she really wanted
But just happy she’s like them
She’ll be happy ever after just like them

Daddy’s plastic child is bending
Doing what you tell it to do
Daddy’s plastic child pretending
Reaching out to feel the sun
Never telling anyone
Crying out to melt away
What fun

One of the biggest names in American folk music, this artist has performed thousands of concerts all around the world for over forty years. He’s released songs that are comical, enlightening, educational, and everything outside and in-between. He has been covered by countless artists, including Joan Baez, Simon & Garfunkel, Willie Nelson, The Move, John Denver, and many, many other top names. As with many other Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winners, his life and work cannot be summed up here.

Despite having songs about concentration camps from World War II, anti-Vietnam protest songs, and songs about civil rights, this artist also had a catalog of songs with a more light-hearted nature. This song is one of those light-hearted songs. It was the first track on Morning Again, released in 1968.

Jennifer slept in her little bed
With dreams of a rabbit in her little head

Jennifer's rabbit, brown and white
Left the house and ran away one night
Along with a turtle and a kangaroo
And seventeen monkeys from the city zoo
Jennifer, too

They ran through the forest and they all held hands
They came to the ocean with the cookie-crumb sands
Called it “The Sea of the Very Best Dreams”
And they all built a castle of the best moonbeams
And milky way streams

And there on the sands where the starfish play
The ship sailed in from the moonbeam bay
They all went sailing on the starlight sea
Where they all had cookies with oolong tea
And Jenny had three

They danced on the decks of the red-sailed brig
The monkeys and the sailors did a whirling jig
Turtle played the fiddle and the rabbit played kazoo
And they bowed to each other as polite folks do
And Jenny bowed, too

And then, "My!" said the turtle as the clock struck three
"The hour is growing very late for me"
"Not at all," said the rabbit, "and I'll tell you why”
“We still haven't counted every star in the sky"
Said Jenny, "let's try"

So they counted on the ship and they counted on the shore
They counted through the forest to the bedroom door
They counted in bed ‘til they could count no more
Then they all fell asleep and the final score
Was a trillion and four

Yes the rabbit and the turtle and the kangaroo
And Jenny fell asleep as sleepy folks do
Just like you

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by
Walk on by

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by
Walk on by

Foolish pride
That’s all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don’t stop)
Walk on by (don’t stop)
Walk on by (don’t stop)
Walk on

Walk on by
Walk on by
Foolish pride
That’s all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)

Now you really gotta go, so walk on by (don’t, don’t stop)
Baby, leave; you never see the tears I cry (don’t, don’t stop)
Now you really gotta go, so walk on by (don’t, don’t stop)
Baby, leave; you never see the tears I cry (don’t, don’t stop)...

In the 1960s, this singer was known for her beautiful soft voice. In 1966 she started a highly publicized relationship with Mick Jagger and co-wrote “Sister Morphine” for The Rolling Stones. By 1970, the couple had split and any memory of her pop career was consumed by her new highly publicized battle with drugs. Having a library of songs written about her by top artists of the time, including the one found here, she has a life that cannot be summarized in this space.

This song, her first major hit, was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and featured Jimmy Page as a session musician. The Rolling Stones covered a successful version of it a year later in 1965. It’s a wonderful example of what a talented voice this singer had before her long battle with drugs, after which her voice took on a raspy and more gravelly nature.

Originally called The Troglodytes, this group came together in 1964 and was signed by The Kinks manager Larry Page in 1965. They’re primarily remembered for their largest hit, “Wild Thing,” that reached the top of the charts in the US and number two in the UK. Their success in the US dwindled due to not touring there until 1968, and in 1969 the band finally called it quits.

This song was first released as a single in 1966 with the B-side “Gonna Make You”. It met some censorship around the globe for its provocative lyrics, but ultimately became a hit for the group.

December 01, 2011

Before settling on their final name, this group had been known as The Mavericks, The Pacifics, and The Mersey Beats, finally settling on their final name in 1962. They played along Gerry and The Pacemakers and The Beatles at the famous Cavern Club in their hometown of Liverpool. The band claims to have played more shows with The Beatles at The Cavern Club than “any other band” did.

In comparison to their larger hits, such as “Don’t Turn Around” and “Wishin’ and Hopin’,” this song was a smaller success. It was released as a single in 1965 and featured the B-side “All My Life”.

The radio is infamous for playing the same dozen chart-topping hits day after day. There is a plethora of great music from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s that never gets any air time. The purpose of A Bit Like You And Me is to share old, forgotten '60s music (as well as other old music) with all listeners, proving that there's more music from the past than the media would have you believe. Whether looking for new music or rediscovering forgotten music, A Bit Like You And Me is a great place to hear old songs.
